The Challenge
MH Al Qaddah sought to expand its market presence by creating an e-commerce platform to streamline the distribution of its products and reach a wider customer base.

– UCT created an intuitive product catalogue for MH Al Qaddah’s range of lubricants, oils and greases, categorizing them for easy browsing and searching by users.
– Recognizing MH Al Qaddah’s global reach, the website was built with multilingual functionality to cater to its diverse markets in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
